NPI settings have changed to default to 'NPI only' for all Medicare, Medicaid, Blue, and Tricare
payers. You will receive a warning at login until June 8th if you have any mailboxes that are
set to override the system default and send PINs (legacy identifiers). Visit the Setup/Mailboxes
screen to see which mailboxes are set to send PINs.
If you have not registered your NPI with some payers, or if they have issued memos indicating that
they are not complying with the NPI deadline, then you may need to use the Mailbox setting named
Force NPI to cheerfully enable their non-compliance. Simply set it to 'PINs only' or 'NPI+PINs'
to continue sending legacy identifiers for as long as you need to.
Also, we DO NOT recommend removing any PINs from your provider setup. They aren't hurting
anything by being there, so please do not get rid of them.

We needed to eliminate this inconsistency between the Money and 'Numeric' data types, so as of version 2.2.28 you must select the new Pennies data type on the mapping screen (double-click on the charge field) if your print or data files have no decimal or punctuation in monetary fields.
